Paul,
Did someone mention on a previous post that they had their rotors lightened
and the apex seals changed to 3mm?

 I would be interested in that contact information and would like to know
the real deal on converting to 3mm apex seals.

I would be interested in the pros' and con's of 3mm apex seals verses 2mm.

Great news letter,
Wade Bush
20b to be.

I am not sure about lightened but 3 mm is a good idea for a turbo.
Mazda had some data showing no difference at 5000 RPM and above.
The 2 mm was done mostly for good mileage at 30 hp and lower emissions.
